Creator's Key Takeaways
cruises are for the newly wed and nearly dead yep i have two and it's completely wrong
the average age of a cruise passenger was 46.7 years old in 2019
cruises are way more than sitting around all day in a lounge chair in between trips to the buffet
the bottom line is it is not nearly as restrictive or structured as you might think
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Check out a past cruise compass to see how much is going on on board
✓Don't worry about formal wear; there's a middle ground between pool deck attire and formal wear
